Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to George B. Hollister, March 29, 1870

COLUMBUS, March 29, 1870.

DEAR HOLLISTER:— I am in receipt of yours of the 28th. I like General B——— ever so much and have expected, and still, expect, to reappoint him. But why does he not act — investigate — publish the result, etc., etc.? All sorts of ill rumors are afloat — intemperance, etc., etc. The trustees are bound to do or say something. Silence longer is confession. What does B——— think and say? What will he do?

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
P. S. - Return this letter to me with your reply. - H.

HONORABLE GEORGE B. HOLLISTER.
